Application led July 80,

This invention relates to certainimprove-- ments in lipsticks,- and particularly to ejector mechanism for ejecting the stick from its casing.

6.; In certain types oi. lipsticks, the stick is carried in a casin and is ejected from the casing for use am? returned into the casing after use. In constructions where the casing is round, this is done by. providin an outer casin an inner casing having a s ot, and a stick older having a art engaging with the slot and some sort ofpa rotary actuator for giving the casing a sliding movement. These constructions 'are satisfactory' where the cas- `1li ing is round, but it frequently happens that for certain purposes it is desirable to roduce a casing oval or ovate in shape. ere such casings are used, the stick holder is v given a sliding movement in aninner casing 2Q provided with a longitudinal slot extending the length of the casing, this inner casing b'eing covered with an outer casing. i

It is a special object of the invention to provide a lipstick container ofoval or ovate shape which shall include only an outer casing and a stick holder in which the holder maybe ejected from the casing and-returnedn thereto without the necessity of providing an inner casing, or anyv slotln the casing in so which the holder is carried.

A further object ofthe invention is to produce an ejecting device for this class of lipstick cases which shall be simple and of few parts so that it can be commercially produced at low cost and at fthe same time produce a neat and attractive article.

With these and other objects not specifically referred to in view, the invention consists in certain novel arts, arrangements and combinations whic will be described in connectionpwith the accompanyin draw- J ings and the novel features pointe the claims hereunto annexed Figure 1 easing;

the top removed and' the stick use, and v Figures 5 and 6 are detail sectional views taken respectively on lines 5,--5'1'and 6 6 of projected for dented to forma groove or track 4 in which i works .an ejector 5 in the form o a screw, thethreads of whichy are indicated at 6.

The holder is formed 'with a art, such as a projection 7, Figs. 4 and 6, w ich extends j into the path of the screw and is engaged so that by turning the screw the holder is. given a longitudinal slidingmovement in the casing. This screw ejector, when the ejector is in the form of a screw, is passed through an aperture 8 in the bottom of lthe casing and is held in position by engagin between the wall of the casin and thetrac or groove of the holder. Thls screw is rovided exteriorly of the casing with a mllled head 9 by which it can be manipulated. It will thus 'be seen that provision has been made for ejecting a stick holder in a casing .of oval or ovate shape in which only a sin le casing and holder are required. Except or the perforation in the thecasing walls are' imperforate, thus ia very simple artic1e,has been produced and one which can be made'commercially at low cost and easily and quickly assembled.

While the inventionhas been shown and described in its preferred forms', it will be understood that various forms of ejector may be used andthe invention' is not to be restricted to the precise details shown and described. i

What 'I claim is :4

bottom of the casing,

gov,

1. In a lipstick, the combination of a single outer 'casing and a cover therefor'both oval u in cross section, an" oval rouge stick 2. In a lipstick, the combination of a single outer Casing and a cover therefor both oval 1n cross section, an oval rouge stick holder, a groove in a thin edg'e of the stickholder, a project-ion adjacent the groove of the holder, and a screw propeller in the casing out o f contact with the rouge and with which the projection engages for sliding the holder longitudinally of the casing.

3. In a lipstick, the combination of a single outer casing and a cover therefor both oval 1n cross sectlon, an oval rouge stick holder frictlonally engaging the inner walls of the casing, a groove 'in a thin edge of the stick holder, a projection adjacent the groove of the holder, and a screw rod held in the casing between the holder and the side of the casing but of contact with the rouge and Working in the groove for giving the holder a longitudinal sliding movement in the casing.

In testimony A whereof, I have hereunto set my hand.
